This one is tough.. what do you know about opp? If he's new I'd probably say fold it.. but I dont know, im almost thinking call here. I think your up against two pair at worse, I doubt he has a set.

Personally, I probably would have called. There's the off chance he hit his set, but the most likely scenario is that he has either top pair with an ace kicker or he has a pair of 10's or J's and wants to take the pot down there before overcards show up. You have the biggest stack so you may have made a great lay down and saved yourself some chips. The blinds are low so there's no need to risk your stack.

My thinking was two pair.

the only thing I knew about he guy is he would call with below-par cards..

It would make no sense for someone to play a set that way so I just ruled that one out. If he had a set he's best to slow down a little bit and get more $$$ out of me.

I really had a hard time with this one. I even had to use almost all of my timebank, but I put him on 2 pair, and called it good. If not he outplayed me with tptk then he deserved the pot.

im on one of those 50/50 flips here. i think i err on the side of calling. you got a few outs if he only has 2 pair.

There is a time and place to fold high pairs, and in my opinion this is one of them. You have showed continued aggression yet he still pushed over the top of you and without a read I think you can save 'gambling' your stack here..... hes bluffing or has a lower pair or he has 2pair/set.

Just to add it doesnt look like you're bankrolled for 25NL, either deposit another $200 or drop down a level or you seriously run the risk of playing scared / loosing your buy-in

yeah I'm definetely underbankrolled, but 25nl is as low as party goes, and I don't want to play anywhere else.

Thanks for the advice guys, keep it comming my game needs the help.
